If you like to spend money to repair a car, this is the car for you. First, the speedometer goes out. Chevy wants $600+ to replace it. Should be a safety issue. Next the cable that controls the heater goes out while in the coldest storm in Idaho. Dealer-$325 to replace it. Had us by the balls! Next, the passenger side front window will not go up. In the shop, waiting for the bill. Estimated to repair, $250. Yep. If you like to spend money on repairing an automobile, this is the car for you.I was actually considering replacing a 16 yr. old Toyota Tacoma with a Chevy Colorado. That ain't going to happen now!! NEVER will I buy a Chevy product again. NEVER!

In my 3 plus years of owning this vehicle, I have had issues with the electronics. First of all, the odometer quit working, so now I have no idea how many miles my car has on it. Then, my radio decided it would start turning on and off by itself. The gas mileage is good, and the interior is somewhat comfortable. Just poor electronics.

This vehicle was my first new car. Being a single mom and having to drive two young children around I wanted something reliable. I didn't try and have my children attempt to get into the vehicle before purchasing but the rear door handles are up too far for my kids to reach. Secondly, and more concerning there is an issue with the ignition. My keys don't seem to want to go into the ignition. And IF they manage to make it in they get stuck in the ignition. I was stuck at the grocery store for ten minutes while I tried to get the car started because it seemed the tumbler was not engaging correctly with the key. Chevy needs to make this right!!!!!!
SO NICe - Love My Sonic, HATE Chevy Marketing!

I LOVE my 2013 Sonic Hatchback, The car is Awesome. I call it my lil go-cart. It is wicked fun to drive, I swear, the seats were formed for my butt. Roomier than any other car I tried, and I tried about 10 in the same class as the Sonic. It's sad and crazy Chevy would discontinue this gem and keep the Spark. I drove that and it was awful compared to the Sonic. With the Spark the dirt hitting the undercarriage was loud. It was so cheaply made. Bad Decision Chevy. Sonic FTW!!! BUT... I HATE CHEVY MARKETING!!! I've tried for 7 years to get off their mail list and they ignore EVERY Request!!! I've already stopped using their service dept. I am SO SICK of getting their "Certified Service" mailings and they won't stop. I've tried opting out by calling GMC, The Dealer and using the gmcontactpreferences dot com, but these arrogant jerks have ignored my requests for 7 YEARS!!! What a waste of paper. I am sure I scared the crap out of the last person to answer when I called AGAIN to get off the mailing list. I'm selling a car I love, and switching to Honda!

Great little car bought it used with 39,000 miles I now have 59,000, it drives and runs great. But it's cheap. It had been running rough for a a while and I did some research and found two big holes in the air intake hose . Electrical tape fixed it up for now lol. But that worried me and also the transmission is hesitant and jerky at times. But I salt its first thing in the morning before It warms up. The thing that worrys me the most is will this car last for 10 years. It has so much electrical cool stuff that it's nice now but will it still be working 10 years from now. Idk lol. Oh and the seats are not too comfortable but they do the job lol. Besides that it's a great car. :)
